Magento by default gives you a configuration variable that allows you to set which CMS page is used for 404 Not Found requests. This is an awesome way to provide useful information to a visitor who can’t find what they are looking for or even for old/broken URLs.
Recently we were looking through the analytics for a few of our sites and we realized that we don’t even know how often people are hitting 404′s. Not only how many 404′s, but what URLs were they requesting that caused them to hit a 404?
To solve this, we extended Analytics module in the Magento core to provide a 301 redirect to our actual 404 CMS Page, instead of letting Magento simply load the 404 page with the requested URL as the pageview.
